JESUS is risen from the dead

It is written, 'and behold, there was a great earthquake; for The Angel of THE LORD descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stonefrom the door [of the sepulchre] and sat upon it. His countenance waslike lightning and his raiment was white as snow. And for fear of himthe keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And The Angel answeredand said unto the women [who had come seeking JESUS in the tomb] 'fearnot ye; for I know that ye seek JESUS which was crucified. He is not here; for HE is risen, as HE said. Come, see the place where THE LORD lay. And go quickly and tell his disciples that HE is risen from thedead; and behold, HE goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye seeHIM; lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchrewith fear and great joy; and did run to bring HIS disciples word.And as they went to tell HIS disciples, behold, JESUS met them saying,"all hail". And they came and held HIM by the feet and worshipped HIM.Then said JESUS unto them, 'be not afraid; go tell my brethren thatthey go into Galilee and there they shall see Me. " Matthew 28:2-10, KJV

This is the reason Christians celebrate Easter--the Resurrection of JESUS The Messiahfrom the crucifixation. And in later verses it tells HE ascended to heaven. Gloria Poole; Missouri; time is 8:13 AM,28-March-2010
